MirfinsToOz Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hi guys.. my my husband and I are currently doing the first steps in applying for a visa to oz. however the organised person I am I like to have everything answered and researched and written down ? my 2 year old Yorker Oscar is my world however he is tiny! he has never been in kennels and he is treated like a baby i couldn't leave him behind in wondering has anyone shipped a miniature breed over before? As you can see this is him against a normal sized packet of wet wipes and fully grown! What actually is the full process? X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Awwww bless. We bought over our bichon. At the time it was 30 days quarantine. She was also our baby and it was heart breaking having to have her in kennels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lissyqq Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hi I am in the same boat we have 2 miniature yorkies to take over (we are in the final stage of Visa application) My two have never been apart and the company we are using have assured me that they can travel together. There is only one quarantine centre now (Melbourne) and I have just emailed them to ask if they are allowed to stay in the same kennel for the 10 days in there. Trouble with yorkies they don't like to be apart from their owners and definitely don't like change so its very worrying. I have googled the quarantine centre and the whole process of them relocating and it seems they do get over it and after a few days settle back to normal. I have received a few quotes from several different companies and its not cheap but like you say they're your babies. The good news is its only 10 days now so that will be easier for all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianDiane Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hi to all reading we are going though the same process waiting for visas, our dog Ozzy (we might Change his name later ha)has had his rabies jab and has to wait six months before blood tests but as we have no date there's no rush. We have had one quote so far for about £2500 + 10 days quarantine @ $150 per day+ walks extra but that was in Sydney here's hoping Sydney still has a quarantine Centre we now need to check. Cheers Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Brian Some of the above isn't quite right. Perhaps check with Bob at Pet Air on the forum. There's a pet shipping section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldevlin11 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Me and my wife have 2 pugs and we were told it would be 3 months in quarantine. Shes cried instantly hearing this. Any truth in this. We are also planning a move to the sunshine coast, is there any quarantine centres near by? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Me and my wife have 2 pugs and we were told it would be 3 months in quarantine. Shes cried instantly hearing this. Any truth in this. We are also planning a move to the sunshine coast, is there any quarantine centres near by? The quarantine is now only 10 days. I would speak to Bob at pet air - there is a sticky at the top of the pet section as some breeds including pugs are not straight forward.

pauldevlin11 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 have you any idea why they're not straight forward. And will this cost me extra. How much is it roughly to transport 2 dogs that size. And whos bob. Lol sorry im new to this. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bound4Tassie Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Because they are a brachycephalic breed ( short/ snub nosed breed prone to breathing difficulties) which airlines don't want the risk of carrying as they more likely to die on the way. I think Melbourne is the only quarantine centre now. Look at shipping pets section. Bob runs a relocation service for pets called pet air and is a vet. He will answer your queries better than anyone.
